Abstract
Wearable devices having a primary and secondary power source are disclosed, wherein the secondary power sources are located in links of a band portion of the wearable device and the secondary power sources provide a secondary source of power beyond that provided by the primary power source. One exemplary wrist-wearable device includes a centralized processor pod having a primary power source, a wireless communication radio, and one or more sensors. The exemplary wrist-wearable device further includes a band with a plurality of links. Each of the plurality of links can include a secondary power source. The exemplary wrist-wearable device further includes communicative pathways that can be configured to convey at least power and data between the links and centralized processor pod. The communicative pathways can be configured to convey power from the secondary sources of power to the centralized processor pod beyond the power provided by the primary power source.
